Dan Mann's Shapes

09-04-2012, 03:49 PM

Dan Mann is the local San Diego designer who thought up the likes of the Dominator, Spitfire, Sweet Potato, Baked Potato and the Potato-nator. You can't even shake a stick at that celebrity lineup. Wait until you see what he has in store for 2013.

I didn't realise Dan did the Futura too. On ya Dan, great board. I love your Dom too.

I've previously suggested a Dom step up similar to the Hellfire over the Spit, but (in my mind) stretching it by 4 inches, not two, using a bit more of a SB rocker (maybe Alt rocker?) and of course refining width and nose and tail volumes appropriately. For me, that would be the ideal board up from the Dom.

Is it possible to get Dan on so he can elaborate about his thinking behind the Unibrow, how it performs, best wave range, how it performs relative to some of his other designs (in particular the Dom) etc?
